	Asset protection from malpractice liability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		That is, to the extent that the physician makes a gift of his or her assets, those assets are removed from the potential claims of a litigant or a creditor.
		To the extent that the physician is not interested in relinquishing control, the physician (if married) should consider converting title to his or her assets to a form of marital tenancy, such as tenancy by the entireties.
		The law of each state is different, however, and the physician must be careful to consult the law of the state in which he or she practices medicine, as well as the law of any other state in which the assets (such as real estate) may be located.

	ACP Observer, September 2003 - From minor annoyances to treatment delays, physicians feeling fallout of HIPAA privacy ...
		Other hospitals are rejecting physicians' requests for patient records on the grounds that record-request forms aren't "HIPAA-compliant." They argue that the patient hasn't signed a form authorizing the release of that information or that the reason for the request isn't clearly stated.
		Physician practices may still use patient sign-in sheets and call out patients' names—provided the information disclosed on the sheet or in the announcement is appropriately limited.
		Routine discharge summaries to referring physicians or referral forms to another facility don't need to be tracked, he said, and physicians don't need to document the reporting of procedures or test results to a referring physician.

	Arizona Medical Association
		Physicians have had it with "computer glitches" and the reality that many of them have not been paid fairly or may have never been paid at all for services they’ve provided.
		The solution to the medical care crisis created by HMOs is not unlike the fictional scenario that the author Ayn Rand described in her novel "Atlas Shrugged." The characters of this novel decided to deny their knowledge and experience rather than labor as little more than beasts of burden for unforgiving and demanding masters.
		It’s time for the physicians, patients and employers of Arizona to mandate and demand that their premium dollar be utilized for quality health care.

	Books for Children and Caregivers
		A fictional but emotionally- and medically-accurate story of a boy who has AIDS, and how his classmates learn the truth about the disease, and about having a friend who has AIDS (with emphasis on how þtypicalþ a child with a disability is with respect to feelings, playfulness, and more).
		A fictional story of a little girl who accumulates germs on her hands during a busy day, then þdefeatsþ them by washing her hands before meals.
		Fiction adolescent novel about an 11-year- old girl whose life is enriched by her friendship with twins, one of whom has a stroke which changes each of them, and their families, forever.

	Everybody lies
		In fact, "everybody lies." Only one physician tells it like it is: the brilliant, caustic Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a master diagnostician who tries to avoid patients, even as he guides his diverse "CSI"-like team of "genius doctors" toward the elusive truths of life-threatening mystery diseases at a Princeton hospital.
		Unfortunately, the show's key premise is itself a damaging lie: that a team composed entirely of physicians would rove the hospital providing all significant care to desperately ill patients, as the few nurses and other professionals stand silently in the background or simply disappear.
		In fact, in a kind of extreme irony, the mystery disease that nearly eludes all the genius physicians and kills the first episode's main patient (tapeworm) could have been discovered by a skilled nurse's standard evaluation of the patient's stool--yes, the bedpan.

	The Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society (CAS) - Members (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Physician impairment due to substance abuse is a problem that pervades all medical specialties, but is one that has traditionally been thought to have particular nemesis in anesthesiology.
		The battle, however, on the conspiracy of silence that envelops physician impairment due to substance abuse continues to be waged.
		Personal testimonials from physicians who have recovered and re-entered the profession humanize the disease, and suggest hope for those who struggle with disclosing knowledge of a colleague who is a substance abuser.

		Instead the anti-hero, whom everyone in the fiction loves to hate, but with whom the reader wishes to identify, tells his (or in recent times her) associates the true meaning of the bizarre aspects of the crime.
		In fiction the 'profiler' provides a tidy way of developing and resolving the drama but in real life it can distort the way in which the facts are collected and examined.
		Detectives and police investigators are particularly vulnerable to the creative fictions of 'profilers' because their task is very similar to that of a novelist.

	Asklepios: Hero of Medical Caring 03-27-96 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Physicians, therefore, are both intellectually and morally obliged to act as advocates for the sick wherever their welfare is threatened and for their health at all times.
		Such distortions of the physician's responsibility degrade the physician-patient relationship that is the central element and structure of clinical care.
		Physicians, as physicians, are not, and must never be, commercial entrepreneurs, gateclosers, or agents of fiscal policy that runs counter to our trust.

	Medical Malpractice Claims - Lawyers for Medical Malpractice Claims Nationwide
		The law's fiction of a "reasonable physician" standard assumes that mistakes will be made, and they are included within the meaning of negligence.
		The medical malpractice lawyer cannot produce every physician to testify to the way things are done, and a medical malpractice attorney must rely on the testimony of his or her expert as well as trial court rulings to combat this assertion.
		Furthermore, the fact that a consent form mentions a particular risk or the fact that a physician advises the patient of a particular risk, does not mean that the patient has consented to the physician rendering negligent medical care and thereby committing medical malpractice in bringing about the danger of which the patient was warned.

	ACP Observer, July-August 2004 - To improve patient safety, try treating problem physicians
		Leape estimated that about 15% of physicians will be impaired by one of these problems at some point in their career, the same percentage affected in the general population.
		Part of what makes it so hard to help physicians is that there are no systems for dealing with problem doctors until their performance has become a serious threat to patients.
		Leape pointed out that physicians need more remedial programs, and he called on medical societies—which have taken the lead in developing alcohol and drug abuse programs for their members—to design programs to address behavioral impairment as well.

	Nursing Against the Odds review
		The male physicians' competitive fear of the supposedly inferior female nurses is remarkable, and the book's suggestion that nurses' historic oppression by physicians parallels the oppression of women by men is convincing.
		Nurses came to feel that they would meet a wall of physician resistance to their own care goals unless they subtly manipulated the physicians, whose fragile egos seemed to require that significant care be all their idea.
		The book gives the impression that nurses are formally subordinate to physicians, and that nursing's key tenets of patient advocacy and holistic care are largely feel-good platitudes that developed to mask nursing's key role in hard-core "medicine." Nurses and physicians do work together, and their professions overlap to a significant extent.

	Physician Executive: Unethical business practices in U.S. health care alarm physician leaders (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Ethical guidelines are central to medical practice because of what one respondent to ACPE's recent poll of physician leaders summarized as the "inherent conflict of interest" between the physician's role as trusted healer and the physician's role as breadwinner--earning a living from the medical knowledge and ministrations applied.
		It was a time when virtually all medicine was fee-for-service and a conscientious Indiana physician like Ben McKenna regarded his patient-neighbors as extended family, made house calls at all hours and shepherded his flock through the vicissitudes of life from birth to asthma, ulcers, seven-year-itch and the final, fatal accident or illness.
		Two-thirds of the physician leaders who responded to the poll were either very concerned or moderately so about conflicts of interest among non-physician executive leaders.

		The ACEP reacted to the fictional TV series, ER, suggesting in a press release that real-life physicians are not adequately trained to respond to a smallpox outbreak [2].
		The American Medical Association took a stance in favor of the June 2002 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' recommendations to the CDC to vaccinate a specific group of health care workers and emergency responders but has not voiced an opinion on the CDC and DHHS's current plan of staged, mass vaccination [14].
		It will now be up to emergency responders to decide whether to receive the vaccine for the public good, and at their own risk, without being told what the likelihood is of a smallpox attack.

	HealthLeaders - HealthLeaders News Features -- Improving Care in Independent Practice
		Physicians like Dr. Landers and his colleagues - independent, autonomous professionals who practice as craftsman, alone or in small, single-specialty groups - are already being overwhelmed by those forces; as a consequence, the dangerous and expensive gulf between what patients need and expect and what they get grows wider each day."
		A RAND telephone survey of 13,000 adults indicates physicians made the proper quality recommendations only 55 percent of the time, and a VA analysis found the VA outperformed physicians serving Medicare patients in the private sector on 11of 11 quality indicators.
		Obstacles to independent physician use include upfront expense, discomfort with computers in practice settings, fears that EMR data will be used against them, and doubts about return on investment on expensive systems.

		Similarly, recording their own experiences can help physicians find a way of framing, organizing and making meaning of what they encounter.
		On a very practical level, the study of the humanities and the use of narrative strategies of interpretation can nurture many of the skills characterizing good doctoring: effective communication; the analytic ability to correlate relevant patterns of data; the courage to see/seek connections among seemingly unrelated elements.
		Whether fictional, factual or poetic, narratives- peoples’ stories- especially can prepare medical practitioners for the variety of personalities and situations they will meet, and expose the thoughts and feelings many patients cannot articulate.

		But the PDR cannot resolve such questions as whether a physician who prescribes meds to the asthmatic hypertensive in his or her practice is screwing the patient or the patient is being screwed by his or her collective maladies.
		I suspect the vast majority of those who place their faith in the PDR look on it as a sort of Consumer Reports for drugs and are completely unaware of its true nature.

		For example, physicians in the Blues plan’s pilot e-prescribing program, which still is under way, have increased generic drug prescribing, cutting medication costs for the payer, Mandel explains.
		Although Tufts and the Massachusetts Blues are betting their physicians will pay for PDAs and electronic prescription software by next year, other payers with similar initiatives are just hoping for a better adoption rate than their pilots received.

		Johnson Lightfoote, associate professor of clinical radiology and medical director of radiology at USC University Hospital, said that CT imaging is particularly useful because it provides high-resolution images of soft tissue, blood vessels, lung and bone.
		Edward Grant, chair of radiology at Keck School of Medicine, said that as physicians gain experience with CT scanning, the incidence of false positives should decline and results that previously would have been considered ambiguous become reliable data physicians can act on.

		Jones's fall was complicated: Morantz-Sanchez suggests that gender expectations were involved, but gender may have contributed to her success also, as the new field of gynecology had some room for a woman, and male physicians found a woman's support in this field useful.
		Examining three hospitals for women, patients and doctors, the New Hospital in London, founded in 1872, the Queen Victoria in Melbourne, 1899, and the Rachel Forster in Sydney, 1922, Alison Bashford charts a regression from feminist enterprise in the first hospitals to simply working for women in the last.
